His voice is awesome. Uniquely pure, subtle, and still commanding. He uses his voice very well, never over singing. His humble demeanor is going to take him very far. I wish him all the best.
It doesn't matter how they vote or who they choose. David is an American Idol in the hearts of millions of people already. He's using a gift to bring joy to the hearts of many people.
I just "discovered" this clip. Man, I truly think we are listening to an original. This vocal arrangement is masterful. I have to now listen to David Archuleta every day - I am hooked. This is exactly what an Idol is all about. I hope all of America gets this right.
You all need to see him sing live! The ease by which such angelic sounds come from his voice is even more apparent and pleasing when he's on stage, in-person, pouring his unfiltered emotions out into the audience. It's really profound.
What a soulful voice, trully a blessing. Don't let the record industry corrupt you David, you are a star. All who listen should be inspired, I know I am.
The voice of an angel! He sells every note, every phrase, every song. His voice sounds so technically perfect, he's like a male Celine Dion. "Heaven" got my attention. "O Holy Night" made me cry. I'll listen to anything he wants to sing!!
I've had the good fortune to have worked with many of the music industry's biggest talents and few have moved me as much as hearing David's voice. His sincerity and passion for singing make him stand out even more. I hope the industry doesn't corrupt such a pure soul.
Lady, you are sooo right! I don't care if David is Christian, Jewish, Buddhist or ATHEIST... He has a voice that is straight from the heavens and he brings me to tears,with this song.
Perfection. Pure Perfection. Inside & Out. Truly the most phenomenal singer of my lifetime. I listened to the Holiday of Hope video today and was frozen with my mouth open...had chills and brought me to tears. I expect to be awed by him already...and even still he can stun me...everytime. A gift like we've never seen before...and much as we've seen already...it's clear, he has only just begun to show us his gifts. Awesome.
OMG! That is my absolute favourite Christmas Carol and he just sang that beautifully... It's nice to see people keeping Carols the way they were sung... Hes fantastic. I love him
HE WILL WIN AMERICAN IDOL... seeing all these videos of him singing...EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS PERFORMANCE IS INCREDIBLE... if he doesnt win American Idol, Im sure He'll still be well known
I have never, ever, ever posted a response to a UA-cam video...but I'm just compelled after hearing this kid sing. Absolutely amazing! Beautiful ... what a terrific talent.
David the Lord has given you far more than a beautiful singing voice, I pray you're path is with Jesus Christ. You surely have been brought into the mainstream for a divine reason
His vibrato is much stronger in this performance, which tells me that he can actually control the strength of it. That's really amazing. Not alot of people can sing this song, but he did a great job.
It's wonderful David is [Very L.D.S ] then the way Davin makes us''All'' fill when he sings and we hear him speak and just the presence of the era around him is true and genuine its all from God! Sister Frances xoxox
He is an Angel sent from heaven.:) Its impossible not to love him. He is such a beautiful person. I cry tears of joy for him. I hope I meet him one day.
WOW - the best version of this song I have ever heard! The arrangement is amazing and his voice just soars. I hope he makes a Christmas album soon - it would sell a zillion copies!
Good bless the child !!!! This is the first time I hear this song (the song that IS the epitomy of Christmas ...) in full . I wish I could download it and listen to it all year long ...... I guess I will have to make it a "favorite" and listen to it every time the world seems cruel and careless!
hi im from philppines thats was an awesome....no words can describe the fellings everytime you hear a gifted voice..keep your feet on the groun and always pray...
i remember hearing this the day after his dad put this on. before most of the world knew david archuleta exsisted. i fell in love with him then. he has the most amazing voice i have ever heard.
This kid is so genuine and such star quality It's refreshing to see him each week! I hope he wins the whole competition, but either way I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more of this rising star!
Omg! That was amazing! I am not kidding when I say I got the chills and was teary eyed. lol. This guy is just incredible. There arent any words to desribe just how amazing I think he is. Randy was right when he said this is what he was born to do. Go David!!!
IMO this is by far and away his best vocal (including all A.I performances thus far) great rendition, and sung absolutely spot on....if this doesn't send chills down your spine then you just don't know music.....this kids gonna be absolutely huge...
beautiful, when you sing with such sincerity it melts everyone within hearing distance.If you incorporated such wonderful emotions into all of your songs, i gurantee you, there would be no point in holding an American Idol this year.
People, people, people....this was not recorded in a studio and mixed by a professional. That is why this is so amazing. yes there are other versions we are familiar with (like Josh Groban who is awesome) but those were done in a studio with lots of sound equipment and professionals who polish the final product. david is a great singer. I can't wait for him to sing the star spangled banner at the next superbowl! (just a guess - no inside info- but that would be cool.)
what a amazing voice! I remember him from star search 3 or 4 years ago,and man,can this kid sing! He made it to the semi finals . Ireally thought he would win hands down,And he can sing some serious soul when he was only 12! I am soooo happy that he continued his music as I will vote for him week after week. I know he will make it to the top six .
Simply amazing. This is the best rendition of this song i've heard since Billy Gilman sang it in his early years. Just outstanding! He's got a real shot to go all the way on American Idol.
This song always makes me cry. It's so beautiful, and so are you, David! Your voice is amazing and I rooted for you this whole season. I live in Norway and we are still in mid-season, but I knew the finale was this last weekend. I sneaked a peek on line and was so surprised and disappointed when I saw the results. But, not to worry.. I know you'll go far. You are a true talent.
I said the exact same thing, kelzfosho .I've never heard anything like him. Not only is his voice straight from the heavens, but my heart stops evry time he smiles. He is THE cutest thing I've EVER seen. This from an "old lady", old enough to be his GRANDmother! LOL!
I can't count how many times I've watched/listened to this. I've always loved this song and to hear David sing it truly touches my heart. Thank you so much for posting it here. (I also love Mary Did You Know :-)
Someday, David will put out a Christmas album. And I'm going to RUSH to the store to get it (and anything else he puts on a CD.) I love the kid's talent. I love his winning personality. I'm so proud to have supported his career in a small way with my votes.
AMEN- this is why American Idol is so awesome- not because of people like Sanjaya- but people who can sing, have an amazing story and are humble- Go David! :)
This is my all-time favorite song, and he sang it like an angel. Absolutely breathtaking. I hope he sings something like this on AI and blows everyone away again. I'm tired of people hating on him, I know that he can blow everyone away again.
David, you are totally awesome! Please make a Christmas album, and include it! This is my favorite Christmas song...Beautifully done! God bless you...stay sweet throughout the Hollywood scene, and keep God #1. May He bless you! Rebecca King Tirrell
david is so amazingly talented...i love his voice...i really hope he wins...he has my vote all the way...he outshines the other contestants...by a landslide...plus he's a cutie!!
David may not have time to record a Christmas album now, but eventually he MUST. As others have said, this is the most beautiful version of this song that I've EVER heard.
Love this video and absoluetly all of David's songs. His spirit and character shines through every song he sings and he always brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. When David makes a Christmas CD, he will transform the traditional Christmas music which we listen to during December...into Christmas music that we will listen to all year long! It will be a part of our daily lives. Can you tell that I think he is great? See you in Pomona! Hugs from Huntington Beach!
Richard Parkinson (the guy playing the piano) is my cousin, and David's agent. We knew this kid was going to be big a long time ago! And David is one of the most sincere people I have ever met! Whether he wins Idol or not, he's got a career now that people know who he is. :)
OMG my mother cries every time she see's this!! David needs to sing this version on that NBC show this Christmas where they light the tree at Rockerfeller Centre in NY!!!!!!!!
This is completely wonderful -- I hope someday David can record many of these songs he did when he was young. I love the UA-cam vids but I want them on my iPod and on CD. So amazing.
Oh my gosh, so beautiful I am crying as I feel I just got a glimpse of God through song!! Thank you David , your gift is God Devine.
Angel voices are incredible aren’t they! 😇 Bless you and yours
You have purpose and never stop believing. Strength and Love
His voice is awesome. Uniquely pure, subtle, and still commanding. He uses his voice very well, never over singing. His humble demeanor is going to take him very far. I wish him all the best.

Lady, you are sooo right! I don't care if David is Christian, Jewish, Buddhist or ATHEIST... He has a voice that is straight from the heavens and he brings me to tears,with this song.
Any time David opens up his mouth to sing, it truly is a holy night...morning, afternoon, and everything in between!
Perfection. Pure Perfection. Inside & Out.
Truly the most phenomenal singer of my lifetime. I listened to the Holiday of Hope video today and was frozen with my mouth open...had chills and brought me to tears.

He performed this on my Birthday and its my favorite Christmas Carol!!!! He's amazing!
David is amazing. He sings this song beautifully. And I wish the religion debate would stop. I'm not religious at all and I can still appreciate it.
David the Lord has given you far more than a beautiful singing voice, I pray you're path is with Jesus Christ. You surely have been brought into the mainstream for a divine reason
This young man is an angel. God bless him. He has a gift that can give incredible joy to us all.
His vibrato is much stronger in this performance, which tells me that he can actually control the strength of it.

This is the first time I hear this song (the song that IS the epitomy of Christmas ...) in full . I wish I could download it and listen to it all year long ...... I guess I will have to make it a "favorite" and listen to it every time the world seems cruel and careless!

Simply amazing. This is the best rendition of this song i've heard since Billy Gilman sang it in his early years. Just outstanding! He's got a real shot to go all the way on American Idol.
